Placebo

running php 4.x

trying to retrieve data returned by a url using 'file' but doesnt seem to work at all?

also tried simple
[PHP]
$url = "http://www.google.com";
$html = file_get_contents(urlencode($url)) or die("Can't open url");
echo $html; [/PHP]

no joy.

looks like hosting365 have blocked it for security purposes.
Using curl instead

[PHP]<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>[/PHP]

This was a massive secuity flaw in PHP for years; it's handy if you need it but it's a huge hole if it's not required and scripts aren't set up to recognise abuse.

They finally disabled it by default in PHP 5.
